INTERPRO DOMAIN
In molecular biology, the LisH domain (lis homology domain) is a protein domain found in a large number of eukaryotic proteins, from metazoa, fungi and plants that have a wide range of functions. The recently solved structure of the LisH domain in the N-terminal region of LIS1 depicted it as a novel dimerisation motif, and that other structural elements are likely to play an important role in dimerisation.

Examples of use of -lish
1. He‘d had lunch with Carver and Lish; he and Lish had to put in some office time, and Carver had nothing to do until his reading at Columbia that night, so Gary volunteered my services as a tour guide for the afternoon, assuming that I would be thrilled.
2. Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor Midway through World War II, Frances DiGirolamo followed in her mother‘s footsteps and began working at the Lish Brothers Hat Co.
3. Granted, there was some context here: my best friend, Gary Fisketjon was a junior editor at Random House and a protégé of Carver‘s editor Gordon Lish. (He was later to become Carver‘s editor, as well as my own.) When we were at Williams College together some years before, I had lent Gary a book called Will You Please Be Quiet, Please and ever since then we had both been passionate fans of Carver.
